Liverpool will once again have to pay for Darwin Nunez

Liverpool will once again have to pay for Darwin Nunez. After the conclusion of the Manchester City-Liverpool match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, the Uruguayan striker completed his 60th game in the 'red' jersey, fulfilling one of the objectives that were reflected in the variables of his contract. Thus, according to 'The Mirror', Liverpool have to pay an additional 10 million euros to Benfica. Darwin Núñez arrived at Anfield last season for a fee of around 98 billion euros. This amount was divided into fixed fees, around 74 million, and variables, around 24 million.

 

Regarding the concept of variables, these were divided into three objectives. The first two had to do with the number of games played by Darwin Núñez. When he reached 10, Liverpool had to pay a sum of approximately 5 million euros, and last week, once he reached 60, another 10 million euros were paid. The remaining amount, according to the English newspaper, will be determined by sporting performance. This year he is performing at a high level, registering seven goals and five assists for the Reds in all competitions combined.

This form has also been transferred to the Uruguay national team, where he has 5 goals and 2 assists in the first 6 World Cup qualifiers. The scene seemed to start when the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss was on his way to the dressing room and the Uruguayan idol passed him before entering the tunnel. Klopp interrupted the moment, to prevent the scene from escalating. While the former Borussia Dortmund boss hugged his player to get him away from the scene, the argument continued from a distance and some collaborators, such as Pepijn Lijnders, had to stop Guardiola's pace to dilute the confusing episode. All that could be heard on the broadcast was the phrase "you're going up" from Guardiola.

 

<strong>Guardiola and Guardiola feud </strong>

The incident occurred at the end of the match when Guardiola went over to greet Núñez, and the player visibly expressed his displeasure, leading to a brief but intense verbal confrontation. Asked about it in the press room, Guardiola played down the altercation, stating that "nothing happened. Frustration? No, it's not frustration. I'm very happy," de-emphasising the incident. However, after his contact with the press, a friend tried to ask about his reaction and Pep replied: "He's stronger than me.
